SurveyUSA: Clinton Up 19 Points in Pennsylvania
By SusanUnPC on March 11, 2008 at 2:59 PM in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Pennsylvania
I can’t believe that Obama follower Jonathan Singer posted this on MyDD’s front page. He usually only posts pro-Obama, anti-Clinton stories, as opposed to Todd Beeton and Jerome Armstrong, whose posts are more balanced overall. Or perhaps this is a warning to his fellow Obama followers to wake up:
“Wow. Just wow,” Singer writes.
Obama Plays 2nd Fiddle to Clinton in Pennsylvania Democratic Primary: In a Democratic Primary in Pennsylvania today, 03/11/08, six weeks to the vote, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama 55% to 36%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WCAU-TV Philadelphia, KDKA-TV Pittsburgh, WHP-TV Harrisburg, and WNEP-TV Wilkes-Barre. Obama and Clinton are effectively tied in Southeast PA, which includes Philadelphia, but Clinton leads everywhere else. She is up 2:1 in SW PA, which includes Pittsburgh; is up 5:4 in South Central PA, which includes Harrisburg; is up 4:1 in West Central PA, which includes Johnstown; is up 5:3 in NE PA, which includes Wilkes-Barre; and is up 4:1 in NW PA, which includes Erie. Clinton leads 2:1 among whites; Obama leads 3:1 among blacks. Clinton leads by 5 among men, by 30 among women. She leads by 12 among those under age 50, leads by 26 among those age 50+. On the Economy, which is most important to Democratic voters in PA, Clinton leads by 24 points. On Health Care, next most important, Clinton leads by 32 points. Among voters focused on Iraq, the two are effectively tied.
Singer continues:
This poll puts Hillary Clinton’s lead over Barack Obama in Pennsylvania at nearly twice what it is in the Pollster.com trend estimate and the Real Clear Politics poll average — though that difference seems to entirely come from a higher proportion of respondents backing Clinton relative to other polls rather than a lower proportion backing Obama. This at least suggests that SurveyUSA is pushing leaners more than other polls, and that Clinton does quite well among leaners at this point.
Read all of Singer’s post and the sure-to-be snarky or hysterical posts from the Obama followers.
